Subwoofers / Speakers

Hey guys! Jw who all ordered the spl 15 and what your guys' plans to do with them were.. box design, amp choice, etc I'm still undecided on box but as of now im going to under power it with my Cadence Daytona 1000d and eventually upgrade to something that will actually feed this monster

What would be a good Subwoofer choice (12"), If my preferences were in this order: 1.) LOW FREQUENCY EXTENSION 2.) SOUND QUALITY 3.) SPL ? I have 800-1000w into 2ohms I only Need One Space is not a Issue I am using 8" MidBass 2 would be acceptable

So I managed to get a hold of 2 LMS Ultra 18"s and would like some input on enclosure design. I was thinking of building a smaller ported enclosure tuned low. Any one have any ideas?

Ok so yesterday i smelt a weird ass smell. It almost smelt like manure or something. Then I smelt it again today, twice. The second time i popped the trunk and stuck my nose in the port.. found the source of the funk... It was a burning smell. I was listening to music at full tilt which i regularly do. The oinly change i've made was putting on the loudness feature on my headunit. So what's the deal? The spider is fine and the voice coils look ok but they have spots on them that look like rust or something. Also the burn marks of the terminals aren't from me. My sub came like that. Here's the pics. I ripped the sub out to investigate. But i'm stumped. It seems that the sme…

I own a 2006 Scion TC which is a hatchback as the trunk is not sealed off at all, it's just behind the rear seats. Now, I ordered a stereo integrity 15" Mag that needs around 3.0 cubes for sealed, and 3.5 for ported according to stereo integrity. The sub will be powered by a directed audio 1100.d which puts out about 1200wRMS at 1ohm. The only real way I could pull this off and still have trunk space is by having the speaker fire upwards, into the top of the hatch glass. How would this sound in my car compared to the same sub firing towards the driver's seat or the rear of the trunk? Also, in real world terms, how much louder is a ported enclosure tuned properly going to …

Hey guys I was just wondering what you all think about these 2 sets of component speakers, Theyre right around the same price range, ATM im leaning more torwards the DLS's since they have a shallower mounting depth and are a bit cheaper too. Let me know what you all think of them and wut U would choose out of these 2 sets, Im open to suggestions on other comp. sets in the same price range of about $220max. And if U have any links please post them as well. Oh and these will be powered off a USAmps MD42. thanks everyone.

http://http://www.putfile.com/trevoreaton those are pics of my mag 15s. fedex is horrible. if youve ever seen ace ventura when hes an undercover delivery guy.... i swear they used my packages for the movie... but all in all Ben from www.showrides.net (SIs dealer) has been great. customer service 11/10! hes having 2 new subs sent to me and having fedex pick mine up at my door. if your skeptical about SI having a dealer and not buying direct, worry no more. i wouldnt want any1 else to sell me these subs, great guy. and BOSS, if its convenient for you could i get the tracking number to my new subs if you have it? id appreciate it alot, i want to watch as they get closer and …

One of my friend has a problem with one of the 4 coils on his Soundstream XXX 18" (QVC 1°). I think it's blown; it was smelling burnt friday night. This sub is only a few months old. He had a Hifonics Brutus on it (3000 watts rms at 1 Ohm). He admits the box is way too small, and he never uses the SSF on his amp !!!!!!!!!! So, is it possible to find a recone kit for this sub ? And where ? Thanks in advance.

I have Scan-Speak Discovery D2608/9130 in mdf rings mounted to my dash and windshield with double sided tape. One of them came off the dash on a hot day. When I picked it up I realized the double magnets aren't glued together anymore. Here are some pics. Can I just clean up the surfaces with some denatured alcohol, apply some CA glue and clamp the magnet back together?

the TS-C720PRS to be exact. hey mikey, he likes it! or the mid at least http://www.diymobileaudio.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10868 Specs: http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pna/v3/p...1263623,00.html Prices (about same on online car stereo) http://cgi.ebay.com/PIONEER-TS-C720PRS-PRE...1QQcmdZViewItem anyone wanna split the cost of a set? i want the mids

Ok so i've been on the search for a tweet, i bought the morel but PE killed my order so i'm debating buying them from madisound. my quesitons? how do these tweets perform? anyone have direct experience with them? http://www.madisound.com/pdf/mdt%2029.pdf The waterfall plot looks pretty great to me but i'm sure what time is too long, i see the broad hump at 1-2k makes me think they shouldnt' be played that low, but that also shouldn't be a problem. The only thing is i heard that textile domes weren't supposed to have transients that were that good, so maybe the scale is throwing me off? Shoot me any opinions before i go ahead and re-order these bastards

I have a '17 Challenger I want to add some bass to as I only have the 6-speaker factory Alpine system with no subs. I'm back and forth with what I want to run as far as sub stage and need some advice. The goal is for good SQ while still getting a little SPL. I have a little over 2 cubes max in the trunk, but I'd rather use less than that. I also want a lightweight setup as I'm looking to have a birch enclosure made for it and would want the smallest setup possible that fits my goals. I wanted to try a ported single 8" but can't seem to find any good examples in trunk setups which makes me think it wouldn't be worth it, and just step up to a 10". I have about 900…

I am looking at getting two RD Sonance 10" subs or two RE SE 10" subs. I did have the idea of two audioque sdc2.5 10" subs but the RE SE subs had a flatter response in WinSD. They were cheaper too. I just found a good deal on two RD Sonance subs and didn't know much about them so I am asking for help. I am going to build a ~2.5 cubic foot box tuned to 35hz. The amp I am using is going to be either a sundown saz1500 or a us md3d amp. I am just trying to get loud as i can and still have a somewhat flat response. Which 10" subs would work better in this set-up? If anyone else has some subs that they think would work for me then please recommend them. Thank you in advance.

http://www.diymobileaudio.com/shop/product...?products_id=32 few people are going to be angry they bought the ID's great price and looks pretty impressive

I am so siked first of all! A couple people from REO got me to look into the SSA line and I am very impressed I will be getting 2 of the Xcon 18s and I will be powering them with one Audiopipe AP-3001D. That amp needs a ton of power to put up over 2,000 watts so I plan on getting 2 2400 Kinetiks for the back and maybe a red top under my hood. I drive a 2009 Malibu 4 cylinder soo I'm not quite sure if they even make bigger alternators lol. Hopefully 3 solid batteries will do the trick! Any constructive criticism is welcome Ohh yea and for the build I am walling off my trunk. I still need to have people sick in the back at times so I will probably be putting some type of…

I plan on going with some 8's, and due to the sundown e8 shortage, I have to change up my choice of subs. Here are my conditions: Sealed- no more than .3 cu per sub power handling of 250 RMS minimum Price must be 115 or less shipped per sub. Mounting depth of no more than 4 3/4 inches(this is important) These are the subs on my short list, please post your first hand listening impressions only, no "oh those suck, because all of that brand sucks" Kicker solo classic 8( the brand new ones)- really curious about these Kicker 08s8L5- I dont want to join the "me too" crowd, but I'll run them if they are my best choice Polk MM840 - The new MM series, NOT the old MOMO. According…

so basically, there are tons of competitors out there. the question is, what is the best 15 inch out there for a budget of ~450 i was looking at an Fi BTL 15 inch fully loaded but then i saw the hdc315 this one is a lot cheaper but is it even close to these competitors? i hear a lot about this sub from a lot of people that recommend it. then i saw the DD audio 3515e, called up a dealer and got a price with a recommended box for a total of 580 bucks with tax and all. thanks for your comments. i look forward to see what people think. also, next question is, what amp should i go for? im looking for something in the price range of ~200-300

I have a couple questions. First would be: I have an 86 Ford Crown Vic that i just installed some 5 1/4 coaxials in the front kick panels, and i was wondering if i added a baffle or some type of backstop if it would increase the volume a little bit. I dare not list the speakers in question because of the shittyness. They are just mounted in the factory location under the door panel cover. Second question would be if i ran 2 sets of four ohm speakers to my two channel amp what ohm load would the amplifier see. Amp is a RF punch 450.2 powering 2 sets of coaxials. I ran the left channels both positives to the amps positive speaker output and the same with the negative…

So im deciding on doing 3 10's here soon most likely the sa-10's. I was searching sonicelectronis just for laughs and came across these!! http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_27313_RE-Audio-SEX10D2.html So what do you guys think would have more output the sa-10s or these re seX 10's?? They look pretty beefy but looks arnt never anything lol.

I need help picking a pair of 12s for sealed operation. It'll be power by a JBL 1201.1 II amp that puts out 1100 watts at 2 ohms. I want a pair of 12s that'll hit hard and sound good sealed with about 500 watts to each. I had a pair of Orion HP 12s and liked them alot but I blew one and I'm looking to upgrade. So far I like the look of and am thinking of a pair of Audiopulse Epic 12s in dual 2 ohms or Fi SSD 12s depending on how efficient they are. Any other suggestions? I'm looking for a pair of 12s that'll get louder than and sound better than the Orions. Preferrably a pair of efficient 12s.

I am in the market for another sub again. Going with a single 12 setup ported..can go up to 2.5 cu ft ported tuned low. I might just have a 2.5 cu ft built tuned 30-33hz and drop in one of these subs once I decide which one. I have about 1500-2000 watts on tap at 1 ohm mono. Right now I cant decide what to get next. I see pro and cons for all of these subs...I am thinking I can't go wrong with any of these choices but I want to see if someone can help narrow it down further. Right now I have 2 flatlynes...sounds fantastic!, but I am a basshead and want to go ported and use the full potential of the amp. I have a trunk car so I can only afford to port 1 sub to keep …

everyone iv spoken to about having an RTA says it is suppose to level the peeks of your system ! and they say it sounds bad, ??? i havent a clue, someone mentioned that they did not come to an event becuase they were Judging by Ear.... Please be sure i have no CLUE about this and am not making a case for ear over Rta ... all i know is what people have told me...

I've heard as a general rule to have at least 12in^2 of port per cubic ft. Is this solely to keep port noise down? Reason I ask is because a box size I've tinkered around with for my next build has 8.5-10in^2, yet in Winisd Pro it shows to only have a port velocity of about 60 ft/s. I've heard anything under 100ft/s is fine. Am I missing something? Facts wrong maybe?

I had planned on getting a caprice but I don't think that is gonna happen any more so I am stuck with my existing car, a 95 Acura Integra. So I plan on getting a new sub but only one. And I want to use my existing amp, a Viper 2500.1 (1500x1@4ohms or 2500x1@2ohms), well because I have it and I don't want it sitting collecting dust. So I am looking for a single sub that will hump like two and take massive amounts of power. And to make it even more difficult, one that will operate at one of the above ohmages. And I do not have a problem setting gains really really low to compensate for a woofer that can't take as much power as I have. New or old.
